Blame Hamilton. It’s not Trump’s idea.

the market sell off probably just added another $100 to $200 billion to the US treasury in the form of capital gains tax.

The FR doomsdayers are as bad as the globalist misdirection.

Very good presentation. I would imagine it will be ignored by the legacy media, but Tucker Carlson is a big voice.

The stat that really drove it home for me was the richest top 10% of Americans own 88% of equities, the next 40% owns 12% and the bottom 50% (the working poor and lower middle class) own the debt.

I’ve said many times that Trump did more in his first term for the working poor than anyone since FDR. You ain’t seen nothing yet.

When I was ten or eleven, we went to see my (paternal) grandparents. We didn’t see them very often because they lived in Pittsburgh, which was a long way away. That would have been in 1965 or ‘66.

One of my memories of that trip was that my grandfather drove me somewhere high up. When we got there, he pointed out at the distance, and said “look at that.”

I saw the horizon glowing red. And the clouds above. As far as the eye could see, in both directions, left and right. A remarkable red glow. I could see huge distant industrial buildings silhouetted against the glow. Stacks, gantries, cooling towers, cranes.

We had lived in Santa Monica a few years before, and I saw a forest fire while we were there. This glow was like that, except farther away, and it didn’t move.

That was American industry. I don’t think there’s anything like that anymore, here.

I know exactly what you mean. I grew up near Ironton, Ohio in the 60s. Of the five or six steel mills and coke plants within thirty miles of me, all were gone by the early 2000s. No kid I knew had it better than the ones who had a dad working at the mill.

That is an outstanding discussion. People really need to hear this in its entirety. If not, know this:

There Is No Need To PANIC!! The adults are in charge.

Somehow, I trust Secretary Bessent’s understanding of the tariffs over Rand Paul’s understanding of the same. OTOH, I’d probably take Rand for an eye exam.
